Only "A Scare.

New YORK, April "A New Orleans
special says, referring TO the report that the
steamship Gulmare was on the Irish coast
with a cargo of dynamite, it may be stated
that the original and only Gulmare is now
in the fruit trade between this port and
the Bay Islands. She sailed from New
Orleans April for Ruatan Charter to the
leading shipping house of Fodward and
Wright. She sailed in ballast and the only
freight she carried was spice with which to
purchase a cargo of bananas. She will be
due on the return trip this week. Some
month ago the British Consul here caused
the Gulmare to be detained some days for
an error IL her papers. The defect was
mended aud she wen about her business,
and this may have given rise TO the scare
on the other side.

The Game In Dstall-0thsr Games

INDIANAPOLIS, April IA slight
spring rain before the opening of the game
here to-day between the Chicago and st.
Louis kept away a large enumber of people,
but the three thousand who visited Ath-
letic Park were amply repaid by witness
ing the most terrific smuggling match ever
played on the grounds. st. Louis won the
toss, and went to the field, while Chicago
had the choice OF umpires and selected
DOescher. In the first inning Chicago
made three runs on a single by Sullivan
and a two bagger of Ryan and hit over
the fence by Pfetfer, who brought in the
first two named and scored himself st.
Louis in the same inning made four
runs OF base hit by Latham, Gleason a
base on balls, hits by O'Neil, COmiskey
and Welch, and a number of errors by
Chicago, who seemed to havegO TO pieces
for the moment. At this stage of the game
Capt AnsOn called Ryan from the field to
pitch in place of Pyle. The second inning
netted one more run for Chicago and two
for st. Louis, and the third one for the
former and blank for the latter. The
next three innings were blanks for both
clubs. The seventh opened up with Sun
day at the bat, who made long hit TO left
field, but brilliant running catch by
O'Neil put him ont. Ryan then made
siugle, AnSon a base on balls, and Pleffer
again knocked the ball over the fence,
bringing in the two men and securing
another home run. st. Louis also made
three runs in this inning, leading of with
BushOng's base on balls and hit
by Latham and GleasOn's two bag
ger. In the eighth and ninth innings
Chicago made five and six runs re-
spectigely, and had everything their own
way. CarTuthers was pounded by nearly
every batter and this, coupled by several
questionable decisions by the umpire,
seemed tO rattle the St. LOuiS, who up to
this time, had done the best fielding. The
features of the game were Pfeffer's two
home runs, AnsOn's home run in the
ninth inning and several long running
catches by the outfielders of the st. Louis.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, April 14.-At
dark this evening six prisoners confined IN
the county Jail made their escape. The
work OF etfecting an egress was very bold
and tedious. A stone weighing 300 pounds
was moved, and a great pile of dirt heaped
in the corridor under which the prisoners
dug, and then out under the sewer and in
to the street. The work must have con-
sumed week or more, and there is SEEM
ingly great carelessness on the part Of the
jailer The prisoners got good hours
start before their flight was discovered,
All the prisoners in the Jail made their es-
cape, and their names are as follows: Dick
Fields, cOlOred, house breaking; NJ. j..
Fisher, forger; Sam Fnnigan, abortion,
convicted and sentenced to ten years in
the penitentiary; Emmanuel Williams,
house breaking; Asa Carr, assault with
intent TO kill; Jabes Burdettee, house

officers are in pursuit, and it ia likely
some of the gang will be Oyerhauled before
morning. To-day the County Court Or
dered the building of new Court House
and Jail In the light Of the above, their
action was taken none too soon.

LINCOLN'S REMAINS
Back Ia their Old Resting PIace-Guarded
for Years in Illinois

Tor Years in Illinois.
SPRISGFIELD, ILL.,, April l4.-The TO
mains of President Lincoln were moved to,
day from the place in which they have
rested so long in such profound secrecy, to
their former resting place.
The general public has not been aware
that the martyred Presidents dust was not
enclosed in the marble tomb in the north
hall OF the monument.
Wherethe remains have been these many
years IS something that only a few have
known.
There is local association here known
as the Memorial Society. Its supposed
purpose has been to hold appropriate serv-
ices Oulthe 18th of April in memory OF
Illinois greatest man. The real object of
this society, however, has been to keep
secure the remains Of the late President
Lincoln, and they have carefully guarded
their charge. Tomorrow the association
will held appropriate exercises in the hall
OF the House of Representatives. The So
ciety has prepaid statement of the facts
in the case, which will be read at the
service4 This paper will reveal all the
secret and mystery that surrounds the cir
Cumstanees.
The preparations for this move have
been in progress for number of days. and
arrangements were completed yesterday,
80 that the remains of MIR. Lincoln could
be placed by the side of his wife. The
only reason they were taken away was to
prevent them from being stolen. An effort
to steal them was made a number of years
ago.
The members of the society want the
public informed as to the facts and the en-
tire matter cleared up. Owing to their
sworn secrecy it has been difficult to obtain
any definite information, the foregoing
facts having leaked out only last night

CHICAGO, April l4.-The General Pas
senger Agents of the Wabash, burlington,
Missouri Pacific, Rock Island and Chicago
& Alton roads, have sent the following
joint message to the General Passenger
Agents of the Pennsylvania, New York
Central, Delaware < Lackawanna and Erie
lines:
We have seen your joint message Of
the llth to A. V. II. Carpenter, In which
you admit that the St. Paul road has not
complied with conditions prescribed in
your circular letter A, and in which you
state that unless the Chicago, Milwaukee
x st. Paul road does not subscribe 10 said
conditions, that you will turn your tickets
to the wall on Friday, the 18th inst. We
shall be glad to have YOU advise us why
you discriminate against us in this man
ner? Why were the tickets of our lines
turned to the wall on April s, and those
of the st. Paul Company not until April
Is? Were there any dissimilar circum-
stances or unlike conditions?
The Times, in commenting on the above,
says: THE question is very pertinentiy
put and if the case is as stated, il will
puzzle the trunk lines TO frame an answer
which will not convict them OF gross dis
elimination.
''The Western lines, through their New
York agent, are gathering evidence of dis
elimination for use either in the courts or
before the Commission. The agent of the
Missouri Pacific at that point yesterday
visited the several offices of the Eastern
trunk lines and rendered the money for .
ticket to Wichita, Kas., via the Missouri
Pacific. This was refused him, hut one
furnished to that point via the St Louis
and San Francisco. The same tender was
made for ticket TO Omaha via the Mis-
souri Pacific which was also refused, but
one sold over the Chicago and Northwest
ern. Affidavts Of the facts have been
made by the buyer and filed away. IL
